The fishing harbour of Sougia
Sougia, or Sia, was the harbour of ancient Elyros and flourished during Greek, Roman and Byzantine times. During those times it had a good harbour which is not visible now because the land has risen on this side of Crete. Sougia was very important during Byzantine times, and three large basilicas of the first Byzantine period have been discovered so far. It seems that both Sougia and Elyros were destroyed by the Arabs.
There is now a small fishing harbour with a boat ramp.
